MUMBAI: English actress Claire Foy returns to playing a British Royal in the second season of the popular British TV show, "A Very English Scandal".

"I'm so excited to work on this extraordinary project, and to explore through this story, how often shame, judgement and controversy surrounds a woman's sexuality," added Foy, who played Queen Elizabeth II in the first two seasons of the Emmy-award winning show, "The Crown".
